The Epsilon Lambda Charitable Foundation (ELCF) and the men of the Epsilon Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. once again participated in the 14th Annual Hyde Park Spooktacular on October 26th. The event is held in Hyde Park and provides a safe space for over 1000 kids to enjoy all types of Halloween activities free of violence. It was curated by the Communities First Organization in addition to being hosted by 14th Ward Alderman Rasheen Aldridge, 11th Ward Alderwoman Laura Keys, and 14th Ward Committeewoman Lucinda Frazier.
The ELCF and Epsilon Lambda Chapter partnered with the Violence Prevention Committee through a grant which helped to provide the kids with hot dogs, candy bars, hot chocolate, and lemonade. Brother David Henson, Brother Marcel Scaife, and the rest of the Brotherhood were vital in organizing Epsilon Lambda’s participation and securing additional funding. The event was well-attended, filled with fun, and the children were able to interact with a strong group of positive Black men.
